Uh Adam? Politics is called “the art of the possible” because it’s better to get a crippled pig enacted into law then to swoon over a thoroughbred that never gets to the legislature’s floor for debate. Bird in the hand and all that.

And if it’s any consolation Michigan just passed a law that removes the cap on charters starting in 2015. I know, I know. Why in three years? Why not in fifteen minutes?
